LANSING -- Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings announced charges against the suspect Wednesday in a pair of shootings that left a pharmacist at the Rite Aid in Frandor Shopping Center and an East Lansing man dead.

The suspect, 34, of East Lansing, has not yet been named until his arraignment today in East Lansing District Court.

Dunnings announced the charges about 1:15 today in his downtown Lansing office, with East Lansing Police Juli Liebler and Lansing Police Chief Mike Yankowski standing by.

Police took the suspect into custody Monday afternoon after surrounding a house on Coolidge Road near where Rogers was shot and killed. East Lansing Police Chief Juli Liebler said at a Tuesday news conference that the suspect surrendered without incident once police made contact with him.

The shootings forced East Lansing schools to lock down buildings, and police closed Coolidge Road for approximately three hours while they established a perimeter around the home.

“A system will succeed or fail based on the people in the system,” Dunings told reporters.

When asked about the relationship between the suspect and the victims, Yankowski responded: "What we do know on the Lansing homicide is that this was not a robbery for money or drugs, and we have no reason to believe that there was any … relationship between the accused suspect and the victim."

Liebler declined to release information on the suspect's relationship with the East Lansing victim, but she did say his weapon was registered.
